Hi Zelmir here is what I found: In "Handbook of Mineralogy" 1990 by Anthony et. al. p. 538 Occurrence: Found in serpentine (Del Norte Co., California, USA); with Fe-Cu-Ni sulfides in a layered ultramafic intrusive (Sally Malay deposit, Australia); and as nodules in meteorites. Distribution: From the Alta mine, Del Norte Co., California, USA. In the Wannaway Fe-Ni-Cu deposit, and at the Sally Malay Cu-Ni deposit, 120 km north of Halls Creek, Western Australia. From Disco Island and the Ilimaussaq Intrusion, southern Greenland. In many meteorites. I see from Charon Cisneros list at Mineralogical Research she has it for sale from the Alta mine.
